Boambee Bay Resort is a quiet, relaxing and peaceful place to stay. The rooms are clean and spacious, the grounds are beautifully maintained with BBQ areas and the pool area is perfect for unwinding. There are plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained. Convenient location near the beach and local attractions.

This resort really has it all. So much to do for adults and kids. Rooms were good size and nice and quiet. Pool was heated which was fantastic.

Down side the parking is extremely tight. The shower in our place was terrible so we all had to share the ensuite but that was manageable.

We has a 3 night stay 22-24 Mach 2024. The resort is very good, pool, spa are excellent. 1/2 court tennis as well. Has a cafe & restaurant (didn't try them). Has a boom gate secure undercover car park - only issue is the narrow car spaces.

The resort was full. We came back sat night after 10pm and only 2 car spaces were left. But I couldn't park our medium sedan into any, as large SV's/Utes parked either side. If I parked in the space you couldn't open the door enough to get out. So had to park on the public street outside the resort.

We had a two bedroom apartment. It was clean and comfortable. kitchen was well appointed with all the necessary pots, pan, utensils, china & cutlery etc.

Only issue was the beds were not comfortable, very soft no support. We mentioned this on checkout - we had an older room. The apartments are being refurbished. The apartment has ceiling fans, security fly screens on windows and doors for ventilation. But no air conditioning.

Our stay here was disappointing this time. When we stayed here a couple of years ago we had a 1br unit with kitchen and view from the balcony of the river adjoining the property. Not knowing there were any other types of accommodation (thus not requesting the one we had before) we were given a second story unit with balcony overlooking the car park. The unit was spacious, with a kitchen, but not at all what we expected. We could have stayed at another location with the same amenities for a lot less money. We booked here because of the pleasant overlook from our last visit.

Comfort, convenience and Options

The resort is close to supermarkets and convenience stores so you can make your own meals in-house. It is close to the town of Sawtell with its boutique shops and cafes, whale and dolphin watching as well. The resort staff are friendly, and you can sit back and relax or join in group activities. Gym, spa and sauna are clean and resident hairdresser and beautician was very affordable. We didn’t go to the restaurant, but it always had people dining in there. Pool area is large and attractive with a couple of native lizards enjoying the sun there too. Room was a bit tired and decor was dated, but clean.

Hotel was good in a great location , no restaurant open at hotel was a bummer but where it was located I can see why it would struggle. Rooms are a bit dated, laundry and bathroom in one and one of those terrible bath/showers to get in my nerve . Our room was located right near smoking location and with constant smoking it made me sick and was unable to let our room air out ..
But I would go back but request a different room. because it was relaxing and there were lots of activity’s for the family .

The resort is being upgraded at the moment. Construction work as you enter reception and the children's playground is closed and under repair. The biggest annoyance is that the on site restaurant has been recently closed so if you stay here you will need to have a vehicle to get to any type of place to eat.

The Stay At Boambee Bay

As we annually go there every year we love it. The pool is great, kids always want to swim 24/7. It is great for the family as it is also close to the river and great for fishing for my husband and son. Great quality and well mannered staff make it an even better stay. The comfort of living in your own home is what it feels like here. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
